Trump says 'too late to do another' debate after Harris accepts CNN invitation

Source: The Hill

Former President Trump said Saturday afternoon that it’s “too late to do another” debate, after Vice President Harris accepted an invitation from CNN for a second debate.

“She’s done one debate. I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another. I’d love to, in many ways, but it’s too late. The voting is cast,” Trump said during a campaign event in Wilmington, N.C.

“She’s had her chance to do it with Fox,” Trump said. “You know, Fox invited us on, and I waited and waited, and they turned it down. They turned it down, but now she wants to do a debate right before the election with CNN because she’s losing badly.”

The Harris campaign announced earlier on Saturday that it would participate in another debate, hosted by CNN, which the network scheduled for Oct. 23. The pair first debated Sept. 10 in Philadelphia, which was moderated by ABC News. It was widely seen as a good night for Harris.

He lost to Biden and he’s admitted it recently on the Lex Fridman podcast. He’s a loser and a coward.

He looks like a chicken (with all due respect to our egg-laying friends), and I don't have to scream at the television every time he lies. Could we just watch Kamala talking to herself, or another fun person?

YES, it is definitely "too late" for HIM--
whether he does another debate, or not!

His campaign stinks like a dead mackerel shining in the moonlight--
and the stench gets worse every day!

The final one was in late October. Donnie played his invisible accordion, gestured maniacally, lied his capacious ass off.
And Joe soundly beat that ass and handed it back to him.

Turn the "debate" into a long interview.

Because, if Dumpy the Clown is too "chickenshit" to do it we can just make it one person answering all the questions. It won't be like on Faux where he didn't show up and the others spent the night tearing each other apart.

Then there was the "elephant in the room", but this time, there is just a mousy pachyderm with a thin layer of orange pancake makeup for skin.

She readily accepted DAYS AGO, so don't give me this horse crap about there not being enough time, if one side fervently agrees, then there is still way enough time.

Oh wait, Dumpy, needs more time to stuff his face with "debate prep" junk food, get his mushroom cap stroked by his 'adoring mass', and have his "handlers" call it something other than "debate prep" because the man-child can't sit still for more than 5 minutes.

Geez, I thought Sarah Palin was awful prepping for debates, and lacked focus. This dimwit outdoes her.
